Characterization of the vulnerability of cooperative economic systems in a context of multiple hydroclimatic risks and transition

French vineyards, which play a key economic and cultural role, are highly exposed to climate risks and market shifts, rendering their ability to adapt both complex and uncertain. The COOPIX project aims to assess this impact, while strengthening partnerships with cooperatives and proposing a conceptual framework to analyze their vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities. To achieve this, it combines data analysis, field monitoring, and the development of tools designed to support decision-making when faced with multiple risks.

Sensitivity of dairy cattle farming to the economic environment within the context of climate variations

Know more

Confronted with major environmental challenges, dairy cattle breeding farms must adapt their practices without sacrificing productivity or ecosystem services. This project aims to statistically model the interactions between production performance, environmental impacts, and provided services, taking into account climatic and economic variations as well as the diversity of livestock farming systems.

Holistic Tool for assessment of Health Vulnerability and Risks linked to Nature-based Solutions in urban areas

Know more

Based on a "One Health” approach, this project examines the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban areas. However, adopting such solutions poses certain constraints with regard to pathogen reservoirs (ticks, mosquitoes, rodents, etc.). The approach will be applied to two pilot sites, in Lyon and Marseille, to assess vectors and pathogens such as ticks, rodents, and mosquitoes, and may subsequently be expanded to other sites.

Agent-based modeling for bark beetle management at the level of forest landscapes

Know more

The ability of forests to provide a wide range of ecosystem services is being challenged in the current context of climate change, which involves an increase in interlocking regimes of natural and human-induced disturbances

Representation, Analysis and Management of Multiple Risks and Uncertainties

The challenge facing the XRisques metaprogram is to better understand the multiple risks weighing on territories and agricultural, food and environmental systems, in particular the emerging risks linked to rapid transitions in these systems. XRisques aims to establish connections between risks of various kinds, to consider the propagation processes of interacting risks, and to better comprehend the vulnerability of systems in their totality, diversity and complexity. It also aims to compare the different visions of risk from a perspective where prevention and management strategies, as well as public actions and policies, can emerge.
